Closing in on harvest!!

Well I'm at right around 4 1/2 weeks of flower for my three bag seed gals.. I have a few questions though for anyone because this is my very first grow ever and even them just being at this state is getting me excited! I'm still running my 6 100w equiv CFLs. Full nutes (Floranova bloom). This week I'm going to get a microscope to check these ladies out even more!

As for my questions I will just list them and hope for a reply!
1. What is the best and maybe most simple way of curing? I want to make a drying box but don't really know what temps and such it should be.
2. When should I start my 2 week flushing prior to harvest? I know these girls still got some time but I just wanna be sure I'm on time.
3. Do people ever flush with lemon water or sugar water to help make more sweet tasting? (Friend said something about this one)
4. Should I slow down nutrients at all or just keep them full strength till flush?

ANY criticism is accepted.. I would rather be called a dumbass before I screw up this :mrgreen:
and more pics will be coming soon, it just takes me forever to upload them for some reason?

1. there are many threads on this with various views on curing, I spent a ton of time reading up turns out I smoked all mine so fast it did'nt need to cure. Curing is mainly for long storage period keeps it from molding among other things, however some claim enhanced taste from a good cure as a matter of fact they swear by it.

2.It' really depends on the strain of the plant. 8-14 weeks to flower unless it's an auto. If you wanna be johhny science about it, the kind of MJ plant would help loads.

3.Never heard of that, but I would not want to mess with the natural flavor unless it was really shite weed.

4.If the plants are still eating them up I'd say keep feeding them.

Those nugs look good at 4.5 weeks. Keep up the good work.
 
Thanks man I really appreciate that! And they came out of some random bud sacks.. Nothing special but still come chronic. Do you think I could use my grow box as the box that I let the bud hang dry in? Since it already has a carbon filter on it and I can't like have nubs hanging in my house hahaha

You could, I have seen a lot of dudes use cardboard boxes.

Wish I could score somes seeds in my sack nothing for the last year.
 
A cardboard box or something like that would do a lot better because then I can throw some new girls in there.. I will more than likely be using clones with the next grow. I just wanted to perfect my cab before I threw money into strain. And yeah, I've just kinda saved a few over time. Find a random one in a bag so I would just throw it in a little jar. I'm not too disappointed about how they are looking for not being any specific strain, well at least that I know of.
